Easily BOG for mine

Very dangerous in that forward role even when he was with gws

Yep, and we've been talking about it in here for a while.

Even Hopper is a decent shot.

Once we get a mid with a bit more pace in there eg KMac2, Hotton when he's ready, Harley Reid because he'd been a sick acquisition, we should look to rotate Taz/Hop forward in that Caddy-esque role.

From Barrett's Sliding Doors column:


IF ...
coach Yze attempted to explain away Tim Taranto's last-minute withdrawal against Collingwood in round 20 by saying he "just felt a bit of awareness" in his calf ...

THEN ...
shock, horror, he's not back this week to play Gold Coast. "Awareness". Please.

If.....
Taranto chose Collingwood instead of Richmond

Then.....
He'd be playing finals and would be a premiership player with the pies in his first season.

Doesn’t always work like that.

High praise for Timmy T.

“Watching him work with Josh Smillie and Sammy Lalor, our young boys are just soaking in everything he says and everything he does."

Now entering his fourth season at Richmond, Taranto is open to the idea of playing more minutes in the forward line. Taranto kicked 15 goals last year, the second-most of his career, behind the 19 he booted in his first season with the Tigers.

“I want to work on my running, and I want to work on my clearance work, my kicking, hands, marking, literally everything,” he said.

“Trying to find the balance of playing mid and then maybe even going forward as well.

“It’ll be a different year in some capacity, maybe rotating forward and getting the young fellas in there (the midfield) more and a bit of pace through the midfield, which will be good for us, and hopefully I can go forward and kick a few goals.”
